34 Library Confession Challenge (13)

The key personnel from both sides stepped forward to negotiate the fine details of the contract, as the two CEOs chose to step back from these trivialities; as long as there were no major issues, the particulars remained open for discussion.

Zhi Zhi was enveloped in a flickering golden radiance. For the first time, the true form of a colossal Heaven-Devouring Rat manifested with near-tangible presence, its powerful energy fluctuations ten, perhaps even a hundred times stronger than Song Jian’s.

Rujiu was flustered, her hands trembling as she worked. She feared that if she botched the injection, the anesthetic would fail, or worse, wake him up—that would be a disaster! If that cold-faced man were to wake, wouldn’t he tear her to shreds?

As soon as I finished speaking, Qin Kexin hung up. I frowned, though I didn't dwell on it, and told the driver to turn the car around.

A mischievous smirk played on Ziye’s lips as he moved toward the two of them. Under You Ruian’s wary gaze, he lifted his chin slightly.

"What is the meaning of this?" Zhang Zhiwei looked perplexed. And he wasn't alone; none of us could make heads or tails of it. Could these muffled sounds be some kind of secret code?

The Great Elder’s eyes lit up instantly. These were high-grade spirit stones rarely seen even in the outside world, let alone by these secluded elders of the Spirit Clan. Feeling the spiritual energy radiating from the stones, they were so moved they were on the verge of tears.

"This place is..." Upon entering the Purple Illusion Space, Ye Hua felt a distinct change within himself. The invisible shackles that had seemingly bound him, the ones that had limited his freedom, were gone. His body felt lighter than ever before. This discovery left him ecstatic.

Although Mi Chuxian had her own thoughts on the matter, she felt that it couldn't hurt to hear the advice of someone as experienced as Ji Weining.

After hearing her out, Ning Chengsen set aside his heavy workload, rose, and walked over to her to explain things personally.

Various projects within the tribe were being carried out in an orderly fashion. While there was still a long way to go before completion, the settlement was gradually beginning to take the shape of a town.

"You... *cough*... how did you do that?" Celia could not fathom how he had nullified her power and reflected it back at her.

Only now, having received the Emperor’s confirmation, could matters proceed according to his established plan, with no turning back once things were set in motion.

In the distance, three figures approached; there was no need to ask—it was Shen Yuerou, Qu Zhifeng, and Bing Yu. Dulyuan had just sent someone to invite them.

"It is nothing. Just calm your mind and regulate your breath, and you will be fine," the white-clad youth Dulyuan said, brushing the matter aside.

The current situation confirmed Xu Hu’s unease. Zhou Wutian’s surprise attack was not something the Xu family had accounted for. Without a strong leader to steady the chaos, this entire operation risked falling apart.

His personality was clear enough for anyone with a shred of intelligence to see through. Since Qi Hao had already demonstrated his own sharp wit, how could he fail to perceive what kind of man Li Yan was?

"Heaven Crumbles and Earth Splits!" No sooner had Zhang Aotian finished speaking than the entire planet began to tremble, and a barrage of red energy descended upon me like a tidal wave.

"Stay alert," said the guard of Hu Yang before Wang Da could even respond. The six of them grew even more vigilant.

Kanako entered the bathroom. Ilona guessed she was going to wash up and go to bed, but why bring a cup along to brush her teeth? Was something wrong with her?

"I have to look first, I’ll find you later!" Tang Ye told Gu Luoxue before heading off in the direction she had pointed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone rapped him on the back of the head. He turned around with an "Ouch," only to find his iceberg of an older brother standing there.

When they reached the ward, Lu Manyi had calmed down. Her eyes were closed, as if she were sleeping, and the IV drip from the surgery was nearly finished.

The Vermilion Bird charged forward, breathing fire. He swung his magic-chain wings and rushed to meet it, condensing a ball of dark magic in his right hand to collide directly with the bird’s flames.

Brother Shaohua’s face was covered in blood. Faced with Ye Xiaofeng, who maintained a faint smile, he finally felt fear.

Just as he had suspected, Leng Qingqiu was still a virgin. Although she had had a lover in the past, she had never surrendered herself to him; she had remained pure and self-respecting, preserving her chastity to this day.

"This is the life Xiaxia dreamed of; we don't want to shatter her beautiful dream," Zuo Junlin said with a smile, his eyes stinging.

It is said that after the Emperor Taizong of Tang returned to life, he issued an edict to pardon all criminals, posted notices to recruit monks, and ordered the construction of the "Water and Land Assembly" to deliver the lonely souls of the underworld.

"Wait until the Thousand-Faced Gentleman arrives tomorrow to help you disguise yourself. Then, infiltrate the Murong family and see if there is any trace of Mu Xuanji," Tang Ye instructed Mu Caisang.

"I don't help strangers," the boy frowned, clearly annoyed by Lu Xia’s attempt to block his path.

"Hmph, you think my body is so easy to seize? Today, I shall make you vanish into thin air!" Wuming’s voice was like a cold wind, carrying an ancient, bone-chilling frost.

"There is no such thing as an unplowable field, only an exhausted ox," Zhao Xiaoran, sitting in the front row, remarked languidly.

"What is on your mind all day? Sit down and watch slowly; I’m going downstairs to grab a bite." Wan Zihong lied through her teeth. It wasn't that she hadn't eaten enough—she was simply terrified that Situ Xuan might lose his self-control.

Yunye was merely a Han Chinese man who had just been granted the rank of sixth-grade battalion commander. For Qianlong to break precedent and award him the Yellow Riding Jacket meant the Emperor was truly desperate.

The old dragon didn't even see the lightning; it only caught sight of a shadow above. Before it could cry out, the bolt struck Yi, and ribbons of electricity danced across his body before slowly fading away.

As his divine sense extended, it triggered the laws of the Five Elements. Five chains of light appeared in the space before him: red, purple, cyan, blue, and gold. The red and purple were the strongest, while the cyan was the weakest. Everywhere the light chains passed was clearly revealed to his sight.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire received orders to continue piling firewood onto the city walls, stoking the flames higher.

This was the responsibility of a man; sometimes, even when one knows the danger, one must march to the battlefield for a shared purpose.

Seeing that Fan Zhaoqi’s situation was dire, Gu Nianyan realized the gravity of the matter and quickly sent Jia Da back to the Fan estate to report.

As soon as the box appeared, the old crocodile, whose eyes had been half-submerged, blinked them open and hauled itself back out of the mud.
